Wreath

Tara, on October 6, 2019 at 1:33 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 17
Spent hours yesterday working on bouquets and a wreath for our wedding. Our colors are red, black, and white. I included some greenery. Well low and behold, my FH says “our wreath can be used for Christmas.” 🙄🙄 We are not having a Christmas wedding!! Do you think our wreath looks Christmasy? It’s to hang on the fireplace behind the head table.

    To me it looks Christmasy, but it’s so pretty.

    Do you think it would look less Christmasy if I exchange greenery for more roses?

    I think it’s hard not to look Christmasy with those colors. I would look at Pinterest for some spring/summer inspiration. I think you need bigger red flowers, the little ones make it look more Christmas to me, kinda like those berries you see in a lot of Christmas stuff.

    Maybe a bow in a non-Christmasy color or print?

    It DID remind me of Christmas but the rest of your decor should prove it’s not a Christmas wedding so you’re fine.

    Removing the bow is the only thing I’m against. Not only did it take hours of looping, but the stripes come into our decor in a few other areas. If anything, I might play around with larger red flowers or no red at all. Maybe all white roses would make it more bridal? I agree with PP also, in context it’ll probably be fine. I’m sure I’m overthinking it!

    I agree with Melle. I think it should be fine and not a big deal. You did a great job!

    I love the bow!! I agree the rest of the decor will march so it won’t be Christmasy. It’s just classic Christmas colors. Bless them, guys don’t realize what they do when they say things like that lol

    🤣 I think he regrets saying it. He tried to fix it by telling me that one of our Halloween decorations looked Christmassy. 💁🏻‍♀️

    I will say my first thought before reading your explaination was a Christmas themed wreath. I would add more white flowers, maybe a lot more flowers too?
